The tank is currently hidden from my kids only to appear beside the chistmas tree christmas morning. so it has been difficult to work on the tank when you have a 4 and 2 year old following you around. So I hope they are supprised to see a fish tank with fish in it.....It has been more work than I thought it would have.

It does take some effort but its going to be worth it!
Seeing their faces on Christmas morning is worth all the work!
I wish my kids were still small.Christmas gifts weren't all 300 bucks each!

You can get kids to leave you alone for 5 minutes to take care of fish?? I have 3... please please please tell me how you did that!! I can only get that to happen by using tape or Benadryl.
You need to post a pic of the looks on their faces when they see the tank!

When in doubt, do a water change.

I think it is a great Christmas present. I guess you will be busy Christmas morning moving the tank. Some pictures of the event would be great.

If you add more fish now, just add two or three every 2 weeks or so.
